Cardio Exam 4 Flashcards
Assc diseases with congenital valvular disease
Patent ductus arteriosus
aortic coarctation
Path of MVP
expansion of spongiosa
disruption of fibrosa
Risk of mitral annular calcification
thrombi/infective carditis formation
Subacute infective endocarditis with colon cancer
strep bovis
Prosthetic valve early infective endocarditis
staph epidermidis
Peripheral manifestations of infective endocarditis
Roth spots Osler nodes Janeway lesions splinter hemorrhages mycotic aneurysm
IV drug users acute bacterial endocarditis location and bug
R side of heart
S. aureus
Assc with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
adenocarcinoma-> hypercoaguable state
Libman Sacks endocarditis cause and histo
SLE
esoinophilic/granular verrucae
Bugs to tx with aminoglycosides
pseudomonas aeruginosa enterobacteriaceae gram (-) with gentamicin due to + charge
Most common subacute IE bug
viridans strept
Abiotrophia Granulicatella growth and assc
needs L-cysteine or Vit B6
URT/urogenital/GI infection
prone to systemic embolization
IE with negative blood cultures
HACEK bugs
Coxsackie virus with myocarditis
cleaves dystrophin with viral protease 2A
decreases contractility
Parvovirus B19 with myocarditis
replicates in endothelial cells slap cheek (5th disease) maculopapular rash
Corynebacterium diptheriae with myocarditis
toxins A and B, B allows entry, A inhibits EF2
Also conjunctivitis/pharyngeal membrane and bull neck
Borrelia burgdorferi with myocarditis
tick is vector
damage from macrophages killing spirochetes
Trypanosoma cruzi with myocarditis
kissing bugs (reduviids) are vector
rash/edema around eye (Romano’s sign)
T cell lysis of myocytes where it replicates
X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy gene
dystrophin gene mutation
Arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy path and gene
severely thinned (with fat) RV defect of cell adhesion proteins in desomosomes
Naxos syndrome
arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy
kyperkeratosis
plakoglobin gene mutation
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy path and gene
haphard disarray of myocytes
sarcomeric genes
Endomyocardial fibrosis assc
children/young adults in tropical areas
Loeffler endomyocarditis
endomyocardial fibrosis
lg mural thrombi with eosinophilic inflitrate
Amyloidosis dx and histo
stains with congo red (fluoresces green)
beta sheet folding of proteins
Senile cardiac amyloidosis deposition
transthyretin
Impact of hemachromatosis on heart
iron deposition causes ROS to damage myocardium
results in systolic dysfunction
Atrial myxoma
in adults
ball valve obstruction
Types of myocarditis (4)
lymphocytic
hypersensitivity (drug induced, increased eosinphils)
giant cell (rapid and fatal)
Chagas disease
Rhabdomyoma histo and demographic
in children
spider cells
Most common type of cardiac cancer
metastasis:
lungs/breast
melanoma
lymphoma/leukemia
Impact of carcinoid syndrome on heart
increased vasoactive amines (5HT) cause plaques on R sided valves
Phospholamban and role in increased HR
normally blocks SERCA (Ca2+ reuptake)
phosphorylated by PKA-> allows faster reuptake
with increased HR, need faster relaxation
done by phosphorylating phospholamban
Causes of paradoxical S2 splitting
During expiration, aortic closes later
LBBB
aortic stenosis
anything slowing L ventricular emptying
Cause of fixed S2 splitting
atrial septal defect hallmark
Chronic mitral regurg sound
holosystolic murmur
louder with squat/isometric contraction
Acute mitral regurg sound
early systolic decrescendo
Mitral valve prolapse sound
midsystolic click
late systolic murmur
Triad of tricuspid regurg
Carvallo’s sign (louder with inspiration)
pulsatile JVD
pulsatle liver
Ventricular septal defect sound
harsh holosystolic murmur
Aortic stenosis sound
systolic crescendo-decrescendo
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy sound
from dynamic obstruction
crescendo-decrescendo
louder with valsalva/standing/amyl nitrate
Major criteria for infective endocarditis
\+ blood cultures (at least 2) endothelial involvment (via echo/new regurg)
Minor criteria for IE
predisposition fever over 100.4 vascular phenomena immuno phenomena echo microbiologic evidence (not proof)
Syncope cause with prolonged standing, emotional stress, or warm environment
neurocardiogenic syncope
Syncope with neck irritation and qualifiers
carotid sinus hypersensitivity
cardioinhibitory with pause over 3 sec
vasodepressor with decrease of 50mmHg without bradycardia
Syncope from cough, micturition, defecation, valsalva, deglutition
situational syncope
Syncope preceded by tongue/tonsillar pain
glossopharyngeal neuralgia
Cause of syncope with particular arm use
subclavian steal syndrome
Orthostatic hypotension numbers
over 20mmHg SBP or 10mmHg DBP change within 3 minutes of standing
Syncope with movement
atrial myxoma
